Stage 1 IDEAS Jury Winner Announced




The winner of stage 1 is Jessica Mentis, from AUT. The jury saw Jessica's scheme as one that spans time, offering a medieval image of the tower and the contemporary image of the city as being threaded through with "tweets". The tower changes from acting as a kind of aerial in the convoy, receiving the tweeting signals, to a stage in Shed 12, allowing the audience to climb it and send their own messages out into the tweet-o--sphere.

The jury also awarded a runner up prize to the group Inflatable Lego, (Esther Mecredy, Dylan Kane and Rui Peng) from UofA. This project engages the
audience in building their own architecture from a balloon module. The balloon module has 3 states, a floating state, an air state, and a weighty water state. The balloon modules can also be rotated to activate different lighting effects.
